Kiml......no problem....turns out I had a biopsy done and have another auto immune disease called lichen sclerosis. It is nothing scary. They say it's a thinning of the skin...as of now I have no symptoms..just some fyi to be aware of. Have a good week.

Hi Kim; I can completely understand your fear and your anxiousness awaiting the results. Please consider that stress not only affects Lupus, it can also leave us susceptible to other diseases and can worsen other conditions. You must try to control your stress and alleviate your panic attacks. As my Oncologist told me "Even the worse news has treatment options". So, please do not worsen your condition with undue stress. Especially when, at this juncture, you have no definitive answers to stress about. Once you receive the results and/or diagnosis and if they do indicate something serious, you must then concentrate all of your energies on treatment and lifestyle changes in order to fight and win that battle. Stress and panic will only serve to hamper you in that fight and prevent you from doing what is necessary to win! Take a deep breath and know that, whatever it may be, you will work through it and conquer it!! You are not alone!
